I bought a really ridiculous mod for my car, Train Horns....yes those. And I have all of the wiring down except the load wire from the stock horn. I am installing a switch to flip between horn and HORNS and need the guidance of a tech or someone with wiring experience particularly in the horn/steering column area. Thanks in advance for this odd request. I will post audio once completed.

So what your are saying is you have no idea what I am talking about and felt like sharing just how vacant your intelligence really is?

I bought a set for my truck and it wasnt loud enough so I bought another set for my truck and thought I would put them on the car... Seriously it can't be worse then putting a hitch on a mustang.

Most circuits in the Mustang go through the 'Smart Junction Box'. Which means the horn button only sends a pulse to the SJB which will in turn switch on the horn relay. What this means is that it may be easier to switch the output of the relay (hot wire on the original horn) than to try to wire under the dash or at the SJB. You should be able to use a SPDT (single pole, double throw) toggle switch to direct the power to whichever horn you prefer. The switch has 3 terminals. Disconnect the wire from the original horn and connect to the center terminal of the switch. Run one wire from the original horn to either of the remaining switch terminals. Run another wire from the train horn to the remaining terminal. To locate the switch inside the car you obviously have to lengthen these wires and route them to wherever you locate the switch. This should allow you to select either horn with a flip of the switch. The only problem I foresee is if your train horns pull a lot more current than the original horns. If this is the case you may have to add an additional relay to the circuit. A higher current could burn out the contacts on the factory horn relay so check the horns current ratings. Burning out a horn relay isn't fatal but could be expensive to replace at your friendly neighborhood Ford store. Good Luck!

My Pleasure! By the way, my 2007 shop manual shows the factory horn wire that you are looking for to be YL/LG (Yellow with a Light Green Stripe). The black wire at the horn is a ground.

Here's the wiring diagram on the horn system for you to print out.
It's pretty much self explanatory.

Ford Service Manuals S197 - Horn Systems Wiring Diagrams

ps TRAIN HORNS ARE GAY.
I've seen on more than one occasion a few people just about get their ass kicked just for blowing their train horn at the wrong time.

Anyhow good luck with that.

One2One, I have already called in a favor with Mr. Norris. It is imperitative that when he arrives that you tell him you want to buy a Total Gym before his roundhouse brings down your house!
